I have to pretectokote a van how long should I leave to cure in this damp weather ???
-
I painted the floor of my van over the xmas break (a few years ago now) and it took a week to cure. I would, if possible, put it off to easter holls or, ideally, the summer if I did it again.

Try putting a fan heater in thee to raise the temperature it will dry quicker

It's not my van he wanted it the next day like 12hrs after painted iam going to tell him to do it himself in summer he ain't got Time

When using Protectakote you need to add a paint hardiner, stir it well, will be dry ready for another coat in two hours, then leave over night.
For best results dull the van paint by sanding.

Ok cheers

dont bother...its toxic stuff protectacote and will make your van stink to high heaven.....just get a large rubber mat or plastic load liner thats the right size for your van floor.....

we did one of ours years ago had to put a oil rad in it over night and it still wasnt 100% dry after 9 hours so be carefull i dont like the stuff found it a mess to clean when dirty but looks good when done heres one of ours from 2008 we glossed the sides which you can just wipe down
